"It's not just us. It's all of Canada that has a problem right now," Nipigon Mayor Richard Harvey told CBC News. "This is the one place in Canada where there is only one road, one bridge across the country."


Should have built a loop when they had the chance, amirite?

It's not exactly a good time of year to bust out the heavy equipment either.

Crumbling infrastructure that should be fixed with all the money they're saving on healthcare.

The Chinese replaced an 8 lane bridge in 48 hrs. These Canucks need to pull up their big boy snow pants and get to work.

The bridge was sick but wasn't due for a check up for another 18 months.

I know you want to inject politics and show off your cool conservative edge, but that bridge was brand new, budget problems didn't cause this.

Harvey added that police quickly started to stop people heading out on the Trans-Canada Highway at larger Ontario centres like Sault Ste. Marie, Thunder Bay and Terrace Bay, telling them to turn back or use an alternate route through the U.S.

crazy just looked at it on google maps and at that point it's literally the only road west, and you would have to cut through northern Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota to go around.

Even though Ontario extends for another 500+ miles to the north at this point to Hudson Bay, there is no other road that crosses the river.
